So much accomplished...so much to do. An overview of our ten years as an institute

Ten years ago, when we launched the Earth Policy Institute in May 2001, we hoped we could make a difference by offering solutions to the problems facing the world. We hoped we could help to turn the tide toward what we called in our first book an “eco-economy.” Progress has been made, but there is much yet to be done. Several years ago we designed a global roadmap for saving civilization. We called it Plan B, which aims to stabilize climate, stabilize population, eradicate poverty, and restore the earth’s natural support systems. Several years later, we remain the only organization with a plan to reverse the environmental trends that are undermining our future.
